  It is never foolish to open a credit credit card

  It may depend on the situation
Explanation
Opening a credit card to receive a promotional item is considered foolish because it implies making a financial decision based on short-term gratification rather than considering the long-term consequences. Opening a credit card solely for a promotional item may lead to accumulating unnecessary debt and potentially damaging one's credit score. It is generally advisable to carefully evaluate the terms and benefits of a credit card before applying, rather than being swayed by temporary incentives.

5.

Using your credit card online is safer than using a debit card,
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Using a credit card online is safer than using a debit card because credit cards offer better fraud protection. In case of unauthorized transactions, credit card companies usually have zero liability policies, meaning the cardholder is not responsible for any fraudulent charges. On the other hand, debit cards may have limited liability policies, and if unauthorized transactions occur, the cardholder may be liable for a certain amount of money. Furthermore, credit cards also provide an additional layer of security through virtual card numbers or two-factor authentication, making them a more secure option for online transactions.
